36 Weeks (Appointment)

As THE Day gets nearer, I'm feeling more tense and stressed up. Maybe due to boredom, I'm getting impatience. I whined. A lot.

Today's check up, and again, baby's hand blocking partial of her face. Her round nose is so obvious during the scan. She gained a shocking 800gram just in two weeks!

(Previous weight was 1.9kg, and today 2.6kg!!!)

Doctor says, whatever weight I am gaining now all goes to her directly. So I can eat more, since we have decided to undergo C-section. FYI, baby was in breech position last week and now back to normal. So it's kind dangerous that she keeps turning like that, so we shall not wait any further.

It can be dangerous for baby to be rotating like that as she may get tangled by her own umbilical cord.

We have chosen the earliest possible date, 12th August 2014, which falls on the week 38th of my pregnancy. Nurse will arrange for the operation theater and stuff, if everything is smooth, the operation will start at 9am.

Baby Bump Photos

I refuse to engage a maternity photographer cuz I really don't see a need to spend that few hundred bucks when I have the equipment at home. Hubbs agreed with me and promise to take some pictures for me as a memorial.

SENTOSA HERE WE COME !!! 

(PS: All photos taken by Hubbs!!!)

Look at how much he is perspiring for me !!! *love*

And lastly...

Baby Chloe, see you in three weeks time !!!

Randomies

Random photos from previous gaigai session... 

I don't know why but my tummy looks small in photos!!!

AND THE DOGS REFUSE PHOTO WITH ME!!!

(PS: I'm wearing a black shorts)

34 Weeks (Appointment)

Depress, depress, depress !
Well, I shall start off with what happened last night!

Baby bean was moving harshly throughout the night. And all her movements were so obvious that it squashed my stomach, intestine and everything inside. I totally feel unwell and whined to hubbs. For the very first time, baby bean moved the whole night. And I didn't, and couldn't, sleep at all. My tummy just keep moving and moving like an octopus trying to escape the fish net.

Hubbs saw all the movements with his own eyes.
And it followed with a sharp pain in my tummy, near belly button area.

So. When morning came, I told hubbs that something is not right. I felt that baby bean has turned through all the movements. Hubbs assured me that everything will be well and we will see the doctor tonight.

For the whole day, I was feeling unwell.
The sharp pain I mentioned earlier remains painful, as if there is a bruise from inside.
It limits my movements since twitching my waist a little hurts too.

And the first thing I saw my gynae, was to complain to him about the sharp pain and I pointed to him the area. Here comes the ultra scan... The first point of contact he made to the tummy was the sharp pain area, and HOLY!!! the head is there.

Baby bean actually squeezed her way through from engaged position, back to upright sitting position. She was snuggling comfortably, back facing the ultra scan camera. Good girl uh!

So, today no photo again since we can only see her brain, and limbs.

I am currently 66.7kg and only gained about 200g since two weeks ago. Baby bean was 1.77kg at 32weeks, and today 1.97kg. Seems like my weight gained has gone to her.

Appetite has gone down especially when she toss and turn like Jackie Chan during my meal time. It makes me feel pukish and I can't finish my food. Plus now her head is headbutting my gastric, it makes things worst. I keep feeling a huge lump supporting my gastric and I have difficulty breathing hard and sitting down.

Basically I can't stand up straight anymore too.
Back started aching due to the weight infront of me.






CONCLUSION, nurse was saying that it would be wiser to opt for c-section since baby is smaller in built, and may even rotate during birth which makes natural birth dangerous. End up might still get an emergency c-section which will cost 1k more.

We decided to opt for C-section and it will be on week 38, which is 11 August onwards.

Looking forward.
I have another 4 weeks to sleep through my nights.

Life ~

Nothing beats seeing them sleeping peacefully like this. :)

Was looking at some old photos mum dug out, and baby lee looks some what like my younger days. Round nose, round eyes, and round face.

My elder brother and I. Yes, the one on the right is me.

Is it still good for baby lee to look like me?

Hmm........ LOL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME 2 ~

Bump Of The Day 

"That's Awesome"

Meet up with my favorite girl, YUHUI!!!

She was so excited to see my bump, and obviously it grew ALOT! I've gained 12 kg so far and baby is growing well. She felt slight kicks, or rather more like a lump, on my tummy where Baby Lee supports her leg. 

Baby Lee is a good girl today. I manage to eat quite an amount!

We were talking about life and realized how grown up we were now. Shopping no longer mean anything to us and we barely needs anything else. We don't go around buying everything we see anymore. Probably age did some magic, we are moving on to the bigger ticket item, like a house.

Hubbs and I agreed that Yui felt grown up, I wonder if it's the hairstyle or her dress. Or maybe, getting married and signing that piece of paper magically made a person change. Change as in, the heart settled down and we no longer face life alone.

I feel old ever since I got married. I don't know if any one else felt the same, but I see the word "OLD" on my face. Now, having Baby bean in my tummy makes me walk like a grandma, sit like a grandma, sleep like a grandma, and wear like one. 

WHERE IS MY YOUTH  ~~~ 

But, nope I am not regretting my actions. Just feel that life experiences really can make one grow. So before I end my day, Hubbs and I took some Polaroid so that I can punch them into the baby's album for keepsake purpose.

I'm 27th, and Hubb's 33.

We will be real parents in one month's time.

That sums up, and I secretly entered into my 27th year of life, a new beginning, a new form of happiness. I hope Baby Lee will grow up well and healthy! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

11 July 2014

27th Me.

33 Weeks 2 Days

47 Days to EDD

Hubbs and I, together with my Dad and Mum went to Crystal Jade for dinner. It's been a while since we had dinner together cuz everyone comes back at different timings.

I was surprised baby bought a long a bouquet of sunflowers for me.

<3 <3 <3

The flowers reminds me of our wedding and it's kinda heart warming although many many times I told him not to spend money on flowers because it eventually will die off, but his randomness brought some good memories for us back. How sweet of him !<3

I have nothing in particular to wish for except everyone around me to be in good health. 

World Peace. ^^V

Niki and Winter are still staying with me, (I didn't abandon them!)

I've been spending the whole day with them everyday, for the past 7 months. And I'm sure they are so happy with it until a point, maybe they find me irritating. I wake them up from their nap and insist to play with them. hahaha..... 

Here, Winter insisted to sleep on my big tummy, with his big tummy.

And baby Xuan keeps kicking from inside.

Happy Birthday To Me.

Prenatal Massage @ Bella Luna

Count Down: 50 Days to meet our lil' Princess <3

*SELFIE*

I'm getting rounder. 

Face

Arms

Ankle

Tummy

Basically EVERYWHERE!

Bella Luna

Located at Tras Street, along the stretch where My Dream Wedding sits.

It's a small massage place which provides spa and massage services targeting at pregnant mums. To be frank, the environment is quiet enough and relaxing. Furnished with contemporary style at the holding area. 

We waited for around 15 mins while filing up a personal data form, and was brought to a couple room shortly.

The lady whom brought us in told us that the room will be slightly cramp because the larger ones are already taken up. Hmm.... Monday noon, 4pm and the rooms are taken up. Seems like this is a place for rich people who didn't need to work, on a Monday?

No idea.

So we were being led into a room with two massage beds, like any other usual massage place.

I have not much comments on the massage except they did a good shoulder massage for me.

My therapist fall asleep halfway.

Anyway, after the massage, we were brought to the 'consultation room'. And they tried selling us 10 session for home visits of Post natal massage, plus wrap and slimming session blah blah blah blah.... 

Sorry I wasn't listening as nothing really impresses me.

But thanks for the offer, this 1-hour Prenatal Massage was $28.

32 Weeks (Appointment)

No photos today coz baby is squashed up and, nothing is clear.
She had her hand on half her face, and umbilical cord all over the place.
We will see her in about 8 weeks.

Currently she sits at 1.77kg, smaller scale than usual but still within the range.
Doctor has finally confirmed that she can go on natural birth!

Next appointment in two weeks time!

Before we met the gynae, I was telling hubbs that maybe we should just go ahead with C-section so that we won't need to worry when the water bag will break etc. Hubbs says it's all up to me. And I was so confident that baby is still in breech position.

But the moment the ultra scan starts, the first thing gynae mention was "Baby has turned!" and my heart sank!!! And I started to panic, literally. I can feel the blood rushing into my heart and thumping very hard. But then again, I have told hubbs before that, if baby is good for natural, we will allow her to choose her own birth date. So, I MUST fulfill what I have said!

So, no matter how painful it will be, IT WILL PASS!
Feeling so determined, I told myself too that the pain will only last for at most 24 hours.

YES! I SHALL DO IT!
